rCOLLEGTION  OF  P.  GATTADORI'S  ITALIANj 
^~-—^"         — ^  ART /gallery 


Signer  Cattadori,  the  well-known  connoisseur  of  \'cnice,  has 
consigned  to  the  American  Art  Association,  to  be  sold  under  its 
invariable  terms  of  an  unrestricted  and  unprotected  jniblic  sale, 
the  important  ancient  Italian  Furniture,  Textiles,  Laces,  Tapes- 
tries, Paintings,  Valuable  Art  Objects  and  Sculptures  removed 
from  his  now  ilemolished  premises  at  734  Fifth  Avenue. 

Alany  of  the  objects  now  on  exhibition  were  derived  fiom 
such  world-renowned  sources  as  the  collections  of  Stefano  Bardini, 
Gauthier  of  Paris,  the  Caracciolo,  the  Borghese  Palace,  Rome, 
The  Royal  Palace  of  Racconigi,  tlie  Dowager  Queen  of  Italy,  the 
Doria  Palace  and  Count  Camillo  Benso  di  Cavour. 

Among  the  textiles  are  many  Gothic  and  Renaissance  Velvets 
remarkable  for  beautiful  color  or  marvelous  weaving;  a  Papal 
Amethyst  Baldachino  and  Jade  Green  Hanging  present  an  un- 
rivaled refinement  of  color,  and  a  Gothic  Drap  d'Or  Center,  woven 
in  crimson  with  rare  boucle  stitch,  and  a  sapphire  Velvet  Panel 
of  the  same  Venetian  period  exemplify  the  great  dexterity  that 
weaving  had  then  attained.  Jardiniere  and  other  Genoese  Velvets 
are  well  represented ;  many  specimens  enriched  with  exquisite 
needle-painting  in  gold  threads  reflecting  the  remarkable  precision 
of  not  only  the  eminent  painters,  who  did  not  disdain  to  draw 
a  pattern  or  subject  motive,  but  the  rare  craftsmanship  of  the 
embroiderer.  The  Brocades,  Damasks  and  Brocatelles  are  not  loss 
noteworthy  than  the  Velvets.  A  group  of  Filet  Lace  and  Fil-tire 
Covers  exhibiting  Gothic  and  Renaissance  motives,  many  with 
animalistic  motives,  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  heretofore 
offered  at  public  sale. 

The  collection  of  dainty  Ivory  Fans  of  the  eighteenth  century 
includes  many  of  perfection  in  decorative  value. 

The  Jewelry  displayed  has  a  passing  interest,  rather  more 
for  the  efl'ect  desired  than  the  value  of  the  gems  used  in  the 
settings. 

Tlie  collection  of  Early  Italian  Faience  includes  many  rare 
specimens  of  Caffaggiolo,  Savona  and  Delia  Robbia.  A  Saxc 
Tea  and  Coft'ee  Set  is  not  only  complete,  but  delightful  in  the 
chaste  simplicity  of  its  decoration.     There  are  a  number  of  Brass 


Votive  LanijDs,  Braseros,  Forged  Iron  Torclieres,  Andirons  most 
useful  in  tJieir  purjjosc  and  dignity ;  a  fifteenth  century  Sanctuary 
Screen,  delicately  forged  and  chiseled  with  lacclike  tracery,  Sara- 
cenic and  Crusaders'  heads,  is  possibly  the  finest  specimen  of  iron- 
work extant  of  this  early  period. 

Two  Italian  Renaissance  Rock  Crystal  Candlesticks  are  of 
great  interest  and  finely  mounted.  Frencii  eighteenth  century 
Gilded  Bi'onze  Ameublements  are  exemplified  by  two  delightful 
Louis  X\'  Clocks,  one  from  the  Dowager  Queen  of  Italy's  Collec- 
tion, and  a  pair  of  liOuis  XVI  Wall  Ajjpliques  signed  by  Payot. 

The  two  superlative  Statuary  Bas-reliefs  by  Cellini  and 
Bandinclli  liave  the  prestige  and  distinction  of  association  in  the 
famous  Bardini  Collection. 

The  Decorative  and  Portrait  Paintings  include  examples  by 
(xuardi,  Mariees,  Giulio  Romano,  Francois  Boucher,  several  im- 
portant Architectural  Landscajies  jiainted  in  tempera,  also  from 
Bardini,  and  a  distinguished  Primitive  "Madonna  and  Child"  by 
Ijorenzetti  which  glows  with  color  and  devotional  feeling. 

The  Italian  Gotliic  and  French  Renaissance  and  eighteentii 
century  Furniture,  although  extremely  diverse  in  period  and  style, 
"holds  together"  in  a  remarkable  manner,  demonstrating  its 
eclectic  selection.  Several  Gothic  Ciiests  and  Renaissance  Cassoni 
will  undoubtedly  be  eagerly  sought  for  their  rarely  interesting 
details;  further  objects  to  be  noted  are  Torcheres  by  del  Tasso 
and  otiiers,  several  fine  Needlework  Screens,  Chairs,  and  Settee, 
Console  and  Other  Tables,  Cabinets,  a  number  of  Choir  Stalls  from 
the  Cluircli  of  San  Lorenzo,  Naples,  State  Beds,  a  beautifully 
inlaid  and  mounted  Connnode  signed  by  Russel,  a  Venetian  Sedan 
Chair  eminently  suited  for  a  modern  telephone  booth  in  a  great 
hall,  and  a  French  Renaissance  Window  Casement  in  fine  condi- 
tion of  ai"tistic  workmanship. 

The  Tapestries  and  Needlework  Hangings  include  several 
Gothics,  one  small  panel,  "The  Adoration  of  the  Virgin,"  being 
exceptionally  fine  and  varied  in  its  weaving;  of  tlie  Renaissance, 
the  "Alexander  tiie  Great  and  Porus,"  from  Lord  Braye's  Collec- 
tion, has  tlie  golden  sunlit  merit  of  its  early  period.  A  seventeenth 
century  French  Tapestry  is  of  fine  decorative  quality,  and  a 
number  of  Tudor  early  French  and  Italian  Petit  and  Gros  Point 
are  enhanced  by  the  presence  of  a  "Deposition  from  the  Cross" 
whose  cartoon  has  been  given  to  Domenico  Tiepolo  (1726-1 804.)

PIETRO  LORENZETTI 

Sienese:   12(?)— 13-i8 

679— VIRGIX  AXD  CHILD 

(Arched  panel) 
Height.  36  inches:  xcidtli.  29  inclies 


The  enthroned  and  crowned  Virgin,  clad  in  a  robe  and  hooded 
mantle  of  dark  blue  linetl  with  green  and  trimmed  with  gold- 
embroidered  bands  and  a  transparent  lawn  veil,  holds  on  her  lajj 
the  Infant  Saviour  and  clasps  one  of  his  bare  feet  witli  her  right 
hand.  He  wears  a  rose-colored  robe  bordered  witli  gold  anil  has 
closely  curling  hair.  Both  Mother  and  Child  have  at  tlieir  breasts 
raised  bright  red  pastiglia  jewels  and  their  golden  haloes  are  sim- 
ilarly jeweled.  The  arciiitectural  throne  is  paneled  and  stepped 
at  seat,  anns  and  back,  crested  with  fleurs-de-lis  and  is  enriched 
witli  finials,  emblematic  of  the  four  evangelists,  namely,  the  Eagle 
of  St.  John,  the  Angel  of  St.  Matthew,  the  Bull  of  St.  Luke  and 
the  Lion  of  St.  Mark.  The  throne  stands  before  a  gilded  back- 
ground and  has  a  further  enrichment  in  the  panels  of  niosaic,  of 
the  type  made  familiar  by  the  Cosmati  family. 

Note:  Pietro  di  Lorenzo,  known  as  Lorenzetti,  one  of  the  earliest  Sienese 
painters,  was  a  pupil  of  Duccio  Buoninsegura  and  at  first  followed  the  tech- 
nique of  Simon  and  Pietro  Cavalini;  later  he  gave  his  individuality  full  play. 
Venturi,  in  his  "Storia  dell'  Arte  Italiana"  (1907),  calls  attention  to  this 
Master's  drawing  of  "the  narrowed,  almond-shaped  eyes,  the  down-turned  lips 
and  the  long  hands  with  widely  ]iarted  fingers'"  which  are  strongly  in  evidence 
in  the  above  painting.  His  earliest  signed  painting  is  a  panel  in  the  I'ffizi 
Gallery  at  Florence;  his  greatest  glory  is  the  series  of  frescoes  in  the  lower 
Church  of  St.  Francesco  at  Assisi.  These  were  for  many  years  attributed  to 
Giotto.  The  structure  of  the  Throne  and  the  Pastiglia  resemble,  to  a  remark- 
able degree,  that  of  the  Throne  of  his  Virgin  in  Cortona  Cathedral,  and  there 
is  scarcely  a  picture  of  his  known  in  which  he  has  not  introduced  with  a  keen 
delight  the  panels  of  what  is  known  as  Cosmati  Mosaic!,  which  are  such  a 
feature   of   tliis   painting.
